With the arrival of summer, the number of mosquitoes increases significantly. Dealing with these annoying pests has become a common challenge for many. Here are some effective summer mosquito repellent tips to help keep them away from you and your home.
Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk, typically between 5:00 AM and 7:00 PM. During the evening hours, especially between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM, they tend to be more prevalent in living areas. To reduce their presence, it's advisable to close doors and windows first before using mosquito coils or spraying repellents. After applying the repellent, stay outside for about 30 minutes. By then, the mosquitoes will either have been repelled or knocked out, making it easier to eliminate them. Once done, open the windows (with screens) to allow fresh air to circulate.
Here are 29 practical mosquito repellent methods to try this summer:
1. **Use dried orange peels**: Place them in stockings and tuck them into corners of walls. They not only repel mosquitoes but also freshen the air.
2. **Burn dried tea leaves**: This natural method helps to deter mosquitoes effectively.
3. **Eat more vegetables**: Vegetables like garlic and those rich in carotene can naturally repel mosquitoes when consumed.
4. **Plant mosquito-repelling plants**: Herbs such as lavender, mint, eucalyptus, and lemongrass are known to keep mosquitoes at bay. Place blooming jasmine or roses indoors, especially night-scented varieties, for better results.
5. **Wear socks**: Mosquitoes are less attracted to skin that is less moist and has fewer volatile compounds. Wearing socks can reduce the likelihood of being bitten.
6. **Take B vitamins or eat raw garlic**: These can alter body odor, making it less attractive to mosquitoes.
7. **Keep the temperature low**: Mosquitoes are most active between 28°C and 31°C. Using an air conditioner below this range can naturally drive them away.
8. **Set up homemade traps**: Use bottles filled with sweet rice wine, fish intestines, or rotten eggs to lure and trap mosquitoes.
9. **Avoid scratching bites**: Scratching can worsen the itch and lead to infections. Let the bite heal on its own within 10–15 minutes.
10. **Change aquatic plants regularly**: Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
11. **Rotate repellent products**: Avoid long-term use of the same product to prevent resistance.
12. **Eat garlic**: The scent of garlic can repel mosquitoes naturally.
13. **Use cool oil or wind oil**: Placing these in the bedroom or spraying them on mosquito nets can enhance the repellent effect.
14. **Place blooming flowers before dusk**: Jasmine, roses, or other fragrant flowers can naturally repel mosquitoes.
15. **Install orange-red bulbs**: Mosquitoes are sensitive to this light and avoid it.

22. **Try anti-mosquito tablets**: These are safe for children, pregnant women, and those with allergies.
